I have a batch of Barbera in my wine rack that I bottled in October. I realized that I forgot to add potassium metabisulfate shortly after a few of my bottles exploded. When I began to work on rebottling and adding campden tablets to this wine earlier today, I took a taste... it was WONDERFUL! Unfortunately, the wine is bottled in standard bottles that are unsuited for the pressure of a sparkling wine. If I were to put these bottles in my fridge, would that be sufficient to stop the continuing fermentation, or would I still be cursed with exploding bottles?
Thanks,
